Green Monster Epic

Chapter 714: Setback

In the nick of time, Allen used the vacuum created by Instant Kill in front of him, as well as the retarding effect of the surging energy impact on the mystic lock energy, to squeeze out of the mystic lock shield.

Behind him, a semi-transparent shield formed by energy separated the two worlds. Inside the circular mystic lock, a huge python coiled up and raised its head to look at Allen. A human mage stood on the python's crown, his eyes like torches, looking at Allen across the shield.

At the edge of the valley, an elven archer held a verdant longbow, standing on the canopy of a tall tree with her companion who wielded a pair of longswords.

Beside the giant python, 6-7 elven legendary melee powerhouses held various weapons, also staring solemnly at Allen.

Even outside the mystic lock, there was an elven archer riding on a giant eagle, circling far away. The powerful blow that came from behind Allen earlier was the masterpiece of this archer.

It has always been said that one can be a thief for a thousand days, but one cannot guard against a thief for a thousand days. It's just that Allen, this goblin, has an exceptionally stubborn and cautious personality. Faced with this suddenly appearing giant python magic beast, he couldn't help but feel doubts in his heart.

Previously, in human territory, a demigod mage led two legendary figures to chase and kill him all the way. Even earlier, two legendary powerhouses of his own tribe were ambushed at the same time, and the culprit has not been found to this day. Although these events seem to have been forgotten in the eyes of outsiders as time passed, Allen couldn't feel at ease until the mystery within was unraveled.

Although he has now become one of the top existences in the Ferman world, and there are not many situations that can truly threaten his life, Allen still remembered the ambush of the demigod Black Guard when he had just set foot in the legendary realm. He personally witnessed a demigod succumb to fate under the cooperation of many factors, which made Allen unable to be too complacent about his own strength.

Just like this time, when chasing the giant python, he suddenly encountered an unknown attack. Allen's first thought was not how to fight back, but to burst out and escape first, until he was sure he was safe before looking back to check the situation.

Since the opponent came prepared, then they must have made full preparations. And if they wanted to ambush a demigod, a powerful mystic lock to block the space was absolutely necessary. However, setting up a mystic lock was not a simple matter. First, the location had to be a node where magic power converged, and at the same time, precious magic props had to be buried.

The most effective way to deal with such a situation was not to fight in the venue selected by the opponent, and at the same time, try not to get close to the ground, so as to avoid being imprisoned by powerful magic or divine arts using the ground.

This was the experience Allen had summed up over the years. The reason why he had encountered several life-and-death crises before was ultimately because Allen made mistakes in these two points and was seized the opportunity by his opponents.

But as a powerhouse who has experienced hundreds of battles and often reflects and summarizes, how could Allen keep making such mistakes!

Originally, the sudden appearance of this forest giant python made Allen feel a bit strange and abnormal when he saw it, so he kept a little more vigilance in his heart. When the giant python crossed the mountain in front of him, because of a very subtle fluctuation of beastly intuition, Allen timely stopped his chasing action.

Unexpectedly, an attack followed immediately, insisting on dragging him into this valley. Just as the mystic lock shield slowly rose, Allen broke free from the opponent's restraint without reservation, and finally escaped the space of the mystic lock at a critical moment. It can be said that every step was thrilling!!

"Your Excellency Allen, we just wanted to have a chat with you, there's no need for such a big reaction, right?"

The human demigod mage Lucas was the only face Allen recognized among the dozen or so people in the field. The remaining human and elven powerhouses were somewhat familiar to Allen. It was estimated that he had seen them in some intelligence portraits, but he was seeing the real people for the first time.

The ambush failed, and everyone's emotions were a little depressed. In order to break the awkwardness at the moment, Lucas stood on the head of the giant python and greeted Allen, seemingly calmly.

"A bunch of rats who can't see the light of day, what's there to talk about? It's a shame that you are still a demigod powerhouse, but you are also doing such a dirty trick, it's really shameful!!"

Allen glared angrily, standing at an altitude of several thousand meters, overlooking the valley shrouded in the shield. If his eyes could conjure flames, then Allen's anger would be enough to fill the valley in front of him.

Beneath his seemingly calm expression, Allen still felt a trace of fear. If he really fell into the surrounded territory of this mystic lock, he was afraid that it would be difficult to have a chance to escape.

Therefore, even if Allen thought he managed his emotions well, how could he really be able to treat this group of unwelcome guests indifferently!!

"It seems that Your Excellency Allen still misunderstands us. We really just wanted to find a place where no one would disturb us to have a serious talk with Your Excellency Allen."

Although their plan had failed, the overall advantage was still there. While secretly signaling the spellcasters who controlled the core props to close the mystic lock, Lucas brazenly lied without fear.

The mystic lock shield slowly dissipated from the sky under Allen's feet. Seeing this, Allen did not hesitate to retreat to the west. He was not a reckless warrior who had lost his mind. Although he was furious in his heart, it was clear at a glance who was strong and who was weak at this time. He wouldn't be foolish enough to wait for his opponents to unlock the mystic lock before launching a siege against him.

Whoosh!! Whoosh whoosh!!!!

The elven archer riding on the giant eagle in the distance tried to intercept Allen who was fleeing, firing arrows in rapid succession with great force and sinking power. However, either Allen dodged and adjusted with the Misty Steps, or he easily parried them with Bone Splitter, unable to delay Allen's trajectory at all.

Lucas flickered his figure and teleported directly out through the sky opened by the mystic lock. As soon as he appeared, he waved the staff in his hand, and a ray of death light spell shot out from the huge gem above the staff, heading straight for Allen's back hundreds of meters away.

The light flashed by, and Allen placed Bone Splitter on his back in a backhand. With a sizzling sound of burning and a huge impact, Allen's forward-pouncing movement suddenly became 20% faster. His body was completely unharmed under such an impact, and even his beloved weapon only had a red ring at the burning point. As it gradually cooled down, it returned to its original state, leaving only a shallow white mark.

"No need to see me off, everyone. I will keep today's events in mind, and I will definitely repay you in the future!!"

The speeding Allen turned his head and swept his icy eyes over everyone's faces, deeply engraving their faces in his mind, waiting for the day in the future to avenge the sins he suffered today.

Watching Allen's receding back, Lucas roared at the several human legendary figures he had brought with him with a livid face: "A bunch of trash!!"

On the other side, 7-8 elven powerhouses also quietly gathered together, coldly confronting the humans who had just cooperated with them.

"It seems that our cooperation this time can only end here."

The elven demigod archer Alicia put the verdant longbow on her shoulder, and then said indifferently to Lucas.

"Perhaps there will be opportunities for cooperation again in the future."

"Damn it!! This hobgoblin is too vigilant!! Even with such arrangements, he still managed to escape!!"

Lucas and Alicia exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a hint of frustration, indicating that their mood had not yet recovered from the previous setback.

"This is also an unpredictable event. We can only do what we should do and cannot control the direction of the entire situation!!"

Alicia certainly felt regret, as a warrior under the command of the great Elf King, she had paid a great price to be sent here to cooperate with humans in attacking the hobgoblin Allen.

Although the temporary magic lock was provided by the humans, the materials to power the lock were brought by the elves. Because they were dealing with a demigod, and possibly a demigod related to a deity, the devices they both set up, as well as the blockade resources invested, were based on dealing with deities. These resources could probably equal all the property of a millennial clan in the wilderness.

Although the Church of the Dawn has a deep foundation, the power of the Elf King is not to be outdone. However, so much investment has not been exchanged for corresponding returns. The members of the two races who participated in this operation do not know how to report back when they return.

"If we don't evacuate now, I'm afraid we will be noticed by other forces. If we are hunted down at that time, it will be bad."

Alicia remained calm. In this unfamiliar environment, and in the territory of unfriendly forces, they have now exposed their whereabouts. After the hobgoblin returns, they don't know if he will organize people to hunt them down.

"Then, let's say goodbye here!!"

Lucas also restrained his unwilling emotions and nodded in agreement with the other party's point of view.

Compared to the elves, the interception and risks that this group of people may encounter when returning are much greater. The elves only need to cross the Cartor Mountains and detour west through the Tagan Desert to return to their territory; while the journey for this group of human powerhouses to return is more than 20,000 miles, passing through the territories of dozens of large tribes. If they are not careful and expose their tracks, it will inevitably attract endless pursuit from the powerhouses of the wilderness tribes.

It should be known that although the relationship between the elves and the wilderness has become estranged, their elven army did not attack the wilderness back then, so they still maintain restraint with each other. However, the human coalition launched a large-scale invasion of the wilderness and annexed many territories of the Human Horse Plains. The two sides can be said to have completely broken face and are in an antagonistic relationship.

The members of the two teams on the ground also packed up the props that should be packed up. After sending out a signal, the two people raised their hands to signal each other. Then the members of the two teams flew away in two directions, north and south. There were a total of fifteen or sixteen members in the two teams, and none of them were existences below the legendary level, which shows that they were determined to win this time.

In fact, this operation had already been planned after Lucas and the others failed to pursue Allen and returned to their respective churches.

Because of the changes in the Mingxi Forbidden Land, the human church sent members to investigate. At that time, Allen accidentally revealed anger containing the power of faith, which made Lucas and the others mistakenly believe that Allen had obtained the inheritance of the Father of the Oak Tree, or that it was related to the awakening of the Father of the Oak Tree.

Afterwards, the human side secretly contacted the elves and shared the information that Allen might be related to the Father of the Oak Tree. Finally, there was this operation to obliterate the hobgoblin Allen.

Although the elves did not invade the wilderness, the slumber of the Father of the Oak Tree has an inextricable relationship with the elven gods.

If it wasn't for the Elf King's layout tens of thousands of years ago, deliberately making the War Ancient Tree Bessellmer the incarnation of the Father of the Oak Tree in the Ferman world, and using the ancient tree itself as a confinement at the most critical moment, so that the divine thoughts of the Father of the Oak Tree could not escape, it would have given the Goddess of Spring the opportunity to crash the god country into the true body of the Father of the Oak Tree in the endless starry sky. Only then did Lord Sylvanus finally fall into slumber.

Otherwise, with the great divine power of Sylvanus's true body, how could a mere Goddess of Spring, a weak divine power, have broken and shattered him!!

If Allen really obtained the inheritance of the Father of the Oak Tree, or took on the mission of inheriting the awakening of the Father of the Oak Tree, then when this great god awakens from his slumber, the first ones to deal with are probably not the human gods, but the Elf King and the elven gods!!

Although the Elf King may not be afraid of Sylvanus, after all, there is also a dwarven god system next to him. With Sylvanus's position and influence in the natural god system, if he directly allies with the dwarven god system, it would not be good news for the elves.

Rather than waiting for the crisis that Sylvanus might bring after his awakening, it would be better to spend some time and energy to obliterate the threat in the cradle. Wouldn't that be better?

Regardless of whether the news that the humans told the elves is true, the fact that the elven prophecy masters used the hobgoblin as a target to launch a prophetic magic, and saw a thick layer of mist, can only be judged that even if the other party is not the inheritor of the Father of the Oak Tree, he must be a major obstacle to the future of the elves.

The distance between the Cartor Mountains and the Elven Kingdom is only separated by a Tagan Desert, which also means that if the elves want to invade the wilderness in the future, they will eventually have to face the hobgoblin.

It is a pity that the powerhouses of the two major civilizations, separated by a long distance, joined forces, but ultimately there is no way to lure the other party into the battlefield arranged by their own side, which also means that their plan, which has been planned for many years, has been declared a failure from this moment.

Even attacking a legendary powerhouse requires a lot of layout, let alone attacking a demigod-level powerhouse. If you can't trap the other party to death in the magic lock, what's the use of even a hundred more legendary powerhouses!!

In order to arrange this attack, Lucas racked his brains.

Prophecy is almost impossible to predict the hobgoblin's movements, and this hobgoblin is basically a homebody-type leader. Unless necessary, he will not leave his tribe's territory. Just to lure him to hook without him noticing the abnormality, the wise human mage demigod has envisioned it for more than a year.

In order to quell the hobgoblin's vigilance, Lucas also waited for several years, and even the secretly monitoring ears and eyes have not moved, just worried about the little doubts and ... left when they chased the other party at the beginning ...

I have been quarantined at home for a few days, and my mood is inexplicably irritable. I am very dissatisfied with this chapter, but there is no way, let it be!!
